I can see how this might be a bit too spicy for some. I highly recommend adding only 1/4 tsp of the cayenne pepper at first. Then if you feel its not spicy enough, add the other 1/4 tsp.

Delicious! In my opinion, this is more of a caramel apple pie, but a welcome change from the usual. If you are seeking somethng more traditional, then you might need to add the cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. Per other reviewers I used red apples in fear of it being to tart and that was a mistake. It came out way too sweet. Next time I will follow as written or use less sugar. I also mixed the apples into the sauce and kept a bit on the side to pour over the top. It really did disguise my botched lattice job and made it look beautiful.

I followed the other reviews and I used 3 15-ounce cans of diced and stewed tomatoes instead of the tomato juice, and added a can of spicy V-8. I put it all in my crock-pot. It had the perfect consistency and was so delicious. Thank you for sharing! This will from now on be my "go-to" chili recipe.
